BREAKING: A 63-year-old Cuban man died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody at a hospital in Florida on Monday — the second death since Saturday and the sixth since October, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. buzzfeednews.com/article/hameda…

Despite the controversy over #AmericanDirt, Chicano author @DavidOBowles says more Latinos should read the book and add their voices to the conversation, as the dialogue will “lose weight if the same chorus of people are repeating the same things.” nbcnews.com/news/latino/wh…

ALERT! @CBP Brownsville is detaining a Guatemalan transwoman forced to remain for months in danger in Mexico under MPP. L passed her fear interview today, but her lawyer says CBP may send her to ICE detention. CBP can & should release L on parole to continue her asylum process.
